Pros

They leave you to your own devices to do what you need. There is zero micromanagement. They give you a decent base salary. One of the 3 founders means really well Founders are well connected

Cons

The product started as a marketing platform (look at their YouTube videos) that they repurposed for sales because the MarTech world was too crowded. They claim to use AI but have so much technical debt that AI wouldn’t even work on their platform No one can get a deal out of pilot phase and into revenue because the product is so bad. When a deal doesn’t get out of pilot, You will be blamed even when It is purely a product problem. They lie about their client list... knowingly 2 of the founders treat this as a lifestyle business. They all think they are smarter than the rest of the world. Did I mention no one makes ANY commission or sells ANYTHING. I was lied to about the top earning sales person. I was lied to about customer churn rate. I was lied to about burn rate (they have to be losing millions on millions every year) might be a tax write off of them.

Pros

Good health benefits and compensation

Cons

There are number of Cons and here are just a few: 1. The technology does not work or wanted - a solution chasing a problem 2. Executive management (in particular the Co-Founders who are brother & sister) are impossible to work for. They are so rich from a company sale (one trick ponies) that no one else's opinion matters and if you get on their bad side for the smallest of issue you are dead to them and eventually fired. They cycle quickly through salespeople in particular. 3. The office is is a dump/ there is no proper A/C and it is literally a sweat box in the summer To cap it off they also publish a fake magazine recognizing the top heads of sales when in fact it is just a marketing ploy. The CEO seems like a good guy but the Co-Founders (CEO is married to Co-Founder as well ) run the show not him.

Pros

Most of the people are very nice. The company has a bold goal

Cons

I'll list these in bullet point and with limited commentary: - Very decrepit office - I have to use my personal phone for business, which I wasn't told before I started - Weekly sales "training" is after business hours on your own time; I also wasn't told that this before I started - Quotation marks are on training because new skills aren't taught or coached; the meetings mostly consist of management giving updates - Lack of success from the sales department gets pushed downhill - The sales department is run very lean, management shares a spreadsheet each month which shows how much each person is costing the company. Which I think is a very odd and uncomfortable way to evaluate a person, let alone to broadcast it to a large group - High turnover, more than I've ever seen in any professional organization - HR is a disaster. They have one rep in-house, and she is great but most of HR is outsourced to a crappy third-party company - No 401k matching
